De-sta-co 201-USS Hold-down Toggle Clamp 125 Lb

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 201-USS is a manual hold-down toggle clamp designed for vertical clamping applications in production, fixturing, and workholding setups. It delivers a holding capacity of 125 pounds (560 N) through an over-center locking mechanism that keeps the workpiece secured without continuous operator force. The clamp features a U-bar with a fixed spindle, a flanged base for four-hole surface mounting, and full stainless steel construction with a zinc finish coating. The straight handle moves through 55 degrees of travel to actuate the bar, which opens to 100 degrees for workpiece loading and unloading.

This clamp is suited for light-duty clamping in machine fixtures, assembly jigs, welding positioners, and quality-control stations. Its compact footprint - 2.04 inches overall length and 3.08 inches overall height - makes it practical in tight fixture layouts. The stainless steel body and handle resist corrosion in coolant-exposed or washdown environments. Machinists, toolmakers, fixture designers, and production technicians typically install and service these clamps in both job-shop and automated-line settings.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hold-down toggle clamp for use in standard fixturing and workholding applications requiring a vertical, flanged-base, U-bar clamp with an M5x0.8 spindle thread.

Installation Notes

Install using four fasteners through the flanged base mounting holes; confirm the mounting surface is flat and rigid to maintain rated holding capacity. Power down or de-energize any associated machinery before positioning or adjusting the clamp in an active fixture. Spindle height should be set and locked with the included hex nuts before placing the clamp in service. Inspect the over-center lock for full engagement after any spindle adjustment to verify secure hold.
